You say Détroit-sur-Seine when you're fluent, like Ivry-sur-Seine, Nogent-sur-Marne and such suburban names.
When you mention the river alone, you say 'la Seine', but in this particular case, when a river is part of the name of a municipality, definite article la is skipped.
So Détroit-sur-Seine is the proper joke here.
